Armstrong Simmonds Architects - London

Michael V. R.

John and his team have been brilliant to work with for our full house renovation and extension in SW London. Our house is quite unique and that combined with it being in a conservation area we knew it wouldn't be a straight forward planning process - but Armstrong Simmonds did a fantastic job and helped us navigate us through every step. We couldn't be happier with the detailed design and outcome.

John and team did a great job designing and drawing up plans for our extension, loft conversion and layout redesign. Very responsive to our frequent changes of mind and easy to deal with. The builder was very complimentary about the detailed drawings, making things straightforward for them.

John and Nick from Armstrong Simmonds did a great job stretching some plans we brought them and helping us navigate the tricky planning process to deliver our best project yet. They were extremely user friendly, reliable and efficient. Johns integrity when we realised we'd initially selected the wrong builder really stood out and enabled us to partner up with an exceptional builder who we would highly recommend to anyone else. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Armstrong Simmonds again.

I cannot recommend Armstrong and Simmonds architects highly enough. Within minutes of John meeting us at our home he had understood our brief and was sharing a vision that ticked all of our boxes.

We had met with other architects who did not inspire us and told us the shape we wanted for our extension would not be possible. John had excellent knowledge of the local planning rules, researched planning submissions in the immediate area and was confident that he would get our application through - and he did!

During the detailed design process John and his team listened closely to how we wanted to use the space. He came up with many design features and solutions to save costs and keep our dream design within our budget.

Throughout the process they delivered an innovative plan that felt personal to us in a professional and timely manner.

We found John and his team to be responsive, helpful and caring. They went above and beyond to get our project over the line and I have no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone looking at home extension/improvement. We would not look anywhere else for any future builds!

We appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects following a competitive tender to remodel and extend a Victorian terraced house in Southfields. We worked closely with John Armstrong on the initial designs and the planning considerations. Surveying of the existing property was swiftly conducted and the team were very proactive in the management of our planning applications which were granted with no amendments. Although we only specified a basic drawings package our builders and those that tendered for the project were complimentary on the detail and thoroughness of the plans. John also made himself available to discuss issues during the build which has been extremely helpful.
I would recommend asking to see practical examples of what is included at each price point to ensure expectations are clear on what is included.
In addition we have appointed Armstrong Simmonds Architects to produce drawings and manage the planning application for garden gym building and will likely work on additional projects with John and the team.

Having worked with Armstrong Simmonds Architects on various residential projects I can highly recommend them. Their team understands the client’s needs and ensures that the project runs smoothly. It is extremely beneficial working with technically competent architect that leads the desgin process and delivers well thought final product

Armstrong Simmonds Architects fully understood our brief when we were redesigning our property. They quickly understood what we were looking for and fully met the brief. We were delighted with the result and can’t recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, creativity and attention to detail.

As a small developer I felt that Armstrong Simmonds filled the brief extremely well. I appointed Armstrong Simmonds in 2012 after vetting several other similar architectural firms. What struck me at the time was the range of expertise within the firm, but also their ability to negotiate the often difficult passage of the planning process, but also some very useful contacts to the table. They have worked on several plans for me and are capable of bringing to fruition not only the plans, but also careful attention to details, architectural features, along with much needed sage advice. Their costings are reasonable and transparent. They are always ready to communicate both over the phone and in person and if the architect that you want to speak to is unavailable, they do call you back the following day. I cannot recommend them enough.
